Summary

Tissue harmonic imaging (THI) improves echocardiographic image quality by reducing artifacts but may decrease axial resolution. This review assesses if THI measurements are more accurate or introduce bias compared to fundamental imaging.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography

Cardiac imaging studies encompass a wide range of noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques designed to visualize the heart's structure and function in detail. One such technique is echocardiography, which uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce detailed images of the heart, known as echocardiograms.
Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion, evaluates...
